Two changes improve the Crosstour for the 2011 model year. Crosstour all-wheel-drive models have improved fuel economy compared to the equivalent 2010 models. The 2011 model's 18/26 mpg city/highway rating is one mpg greater in both categories.

The engine is unchanged: a 3.5-liter V-6 producing 271 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed automatic is the only transmission and the VCM cylinder deactivation system can run on three, four, or six cylinders depending on the situation.For better everyday usability, climate control buttons have been positioned on the left side of the center stack while other buttons have been moved to the right side.

All Crosstours receive a $120 price bump for 2011 and that includes the base EX trim. For $30,570, a base Crosstour includes fog lights, dual-zone climate control, a moonroof, a 10-way power driver seat, and a 360-watt six-disc CD sound system.Upgrade to the $33,470 EX-L if you want leather seats, heated front seats, Homelink, USB audio interface, and Bluetooth. Add $2200 for a fully loaded 2011 Crosstour with a navigation system. All-wheel drive will cost $1450 on the EX-L trim.Source: Honda

Just bought a 2011 EXL today, traded our 08 Pilot in favor for better mpg's. Wife and I test drove (3) Subaru's first, Legacy, Forrester, Outback. The Outback leather top model was nice, until we stopped at our Honda dealer. The Outback can't compete on any level with the Crosstour. What a ride!. More power, same mileage, far smoother ride, finish and fit. Free oil changes for life too! I gave Subaru a shot first, they lost on every level. Keep up the good work Honda!

I have had nothing but compliments on my Crosstour, things being said like a very contemporary styled car, very cool, nothing else like it on the road. Generally a lot of intrigue. It drive like Honda = any car + any engine = very enjoyable drive..Test drive one..

i love my honda's but this car continues it's life as nothing more than an U. G. L. Y. source of transportation. honda needs to know that it's version of the amc hornet is going to follow the same path...a car with no fond memories.

26,000 people bought one. I guess that says something.And could we get off the "Remember when Honda used to make good cars?" crap? Obviously whatever Honda is doing is still working, the one thing that is impossible to deny in the car industry is retail sales (as in non-fleet/rental sales) and Honda absolutely crushes the competition when it comes to this category (meaning that they have the lowest ratio of rental/fleet cars to retail cars). Add that to the fact that they generally have among the lowest incentives it's pretty impressive what they have been able to do considering that they make "bloated, unreliable, LOL" cars.

I just have problems grasping what this vehicle is all about. I have a friend who went to an auto show and saw the Acura version. He thought it was a total fail. Why can't they just do an Accord wagon?

@ kego53 Honda has dropped in resale to #2. Subaru is #1 and the Crosstour is honda's last ditch effort to try to catch up to the Best Selling wagon, the Subaru Outback; Motor Trends SUV of the year 2010. Still looks like they will fall short of hitting the mark. better luck next time honda.

Ah, the Accord Crosstour - the answer to a question nobody asked. Remember when Honda used to make reliable, practical cars that didn't need to be category-benders to acquit themselves? Now we have the bloated North American Accord, and this monstrous blob based on the Accord. I agree with redwing 497. We need an Accord wagon, the one the rest of the world gets. It is, of course, already present on these shores, in TSX guise, but that makes it overpriced. My suggestion? Get rid of the TSX, give us the smaller international Accord, and give the wagon a v6 and manual transmission. Oh, and make AWD available for those in the snow belt.

Ugly and boring! Remember back in the early '90s when Honda's were affordable and somewhat nice looking? If I were shopping for a car in this class there is no way in hell I'd buy a Honda. I would get a Hyundai just because they look so much better than any Honda.

LOL "jerk off mobile"....LMAO. This may sound crazy but I really enjoyed AutoMax's post hahahaha. Love the speaking in the 3rd person thing.As for the car, I've seen about 3 on the road since they came out. Still one of the ugliest automobiles on the road. Kill it with fire and give us an Accord wagon if people want utility.

Honda's resale is better than anything made in the US to my knowledge and will probably always be. I personally like this car and it is better than the crapolla from Ford and GM (especially GM) any day. There are design cues that could be improved upon but that doesn't make it a bad vehicle.

LOL!!! Another Honda!!!They would have to pry another $120 out of my cold dead hands after rigor mortis sets in before they’d get $120 out of AutoMax for this jerk off mobile.Looks like a cheap X6 to me, I already drove the X6 and had no ball room at all, I’ll stick to domestics thank you very much because domestics take into account the larger size nut sacks Americans have vs. Asians.What makes matters worst is the resale value on these things are hellish, nobody will buy them used because they sit on lots forever rusting away salt tainted sheet metal and all.The only place I want to see these are behind a Honda dealership in the service department because that’s about the only place owners of these will find themselves at once they get one!!! LOLSir, we regret to inform you your Honda has died, since it had no value how would you like to pay for your next new Honda, cash or credit!?! LOLIf that was AutoMax, I would hightail it out of that Honda dealership so fast and over to my local Ford dealership and buy a new 2011 Ford Explorer which looks way better than this clown mobile. LOLYou see the difference in grills? The Honda looks like something they pulled out of the pacific off of the old WW2 Japanese Yamato battleship, whereas the Ford looks modern, sophisticated and devoir looking, pardon my French as I’m English, I assure you I do not smell however AutoMax is a man of many languages.Now when people want to see a Yamato, they just look below my belt, and women love to hear French whispered into their ears, trust me.
